Wanna see a cool slide show? Click the image of the collage, taken from an eye-popping exhibition of collages by Claude Pélieu and Mary Beach that was curated by John McWhinnie in New York, in 2007.
I wrote about the exhibition when it opened.
Ginger Killian Eades created the slide show, which I think is a hands-down knockout. It displays the artwork from the exhibition as well if not better than the beautifully printed catalogue that McWhinnie put out. It also includes some collages that were not in the exhibition. Much thanks, Ginger.
These are terrific. Makes me nostalgic for the similar exercises we did all those years ago at the National Art School here, but they are fresher and infinitely more prolific than we were. Lovely stuff.
Terrific, Ginger…I’m feeling better with this Fan page, I think we’ll reach 200 soon for my friends love Claude’s work…I have myself about 50 of his best collages and drawings he sent me since 1993 and the ones he gave me in 2000 when I visited in Norwich…but these I won’t show in the open, no picking’ this time, they are definitely Lu Pélieu’s property :-)))
